I have only started the book I recommended, but from what I have read it is a really clear, engaging book that will provoke important conversations and reflections. I believe there are also discussion questions available to accompany the book.

Beloved conveys the struggles of former slaves trying to make sense of their lives in the aftermath of the soul-searing indignities they suffered. At once profoundly sad and beautiful, Beloved is the novel I would keep above all others.

Recommendation

By Machael Rosenbaum (Visiting Assistant Professor of Sociology)

In this book, sociologist Evelyn Perry draws on two years of ethnographic research to analyze the social construction of community in a racially and economically diverse Milwaukee neighborhood. Live and Let Live provides an in-depth portrait of the challenges and triumphs of integration as social process.

Recommendation

By Richard Albares (Professor Emeriti of Sociology)

This is a brilliant ethnography of working-class white folks in Louisiana – the “other side” of the community/social justice/identity tangle of issues. In this case, people often feel that whiteness and hard work produce little but indignity and failure -- and a burning sense of injustice.
